Gothi or goði (plural goðar, fem. gyðja; Old Norse: guþi) was a position of political and social prominence in the Icelandic Commonwealth. The term originally had a religious significance, referring to a pagan leader responsible for a religious structure and communal feasts, but the title is primarily known as a secular political title from medieval Iceland.
From the pagan era in mainland Scandinavia, the only sources for the title are runestones. The Norwegian Nordhuglo stone from around AD 400 seems to place the title in opposition to magic, using a word related to the Old Norse gandr.
The inscription's Ek gudija ungandiR means "I, gudija" followed by "he who is immune to sorcery" or "he who does not engage in sorcery".T
he three Danish stones are all from Funen. The early Viking Age Helnæs and Flemløse 1 stones provide no details about the function of a guþi, but mention a guþi named Roulv whose name also appears on two other runestones, the lost Avnslev stone and the Flemløse 2 stone. The early 10th-century Glavendrup stone uses the term for a local dignitary who was associated with a vé, which is a religious structure. It thus attaches the title to a simultaneously secular and religious upper strata.
Several runestones face Uppsala's cathedral. They date to XI century, the era of transition of the people's beliefs from pagan gods to Christianity, often containing both an image of a cross and references to Thor.
Несколько рунических надгробий установлено рядом с собором Уппсалы. Они были созданы в XI веке, эпоху когда вера шведов сменялась с языческих богов на христианство; камни зачастую имеют одновременно изображение креста и упоминание Тора.
The legend of Saint Sigfrid of Sweden relates how Sigfrid, a missionary from England, chose Växjö as the site to build a cathedral. He was said to also have been buried in the cathedral that he founded. While the legend is largely unreliable as a historical source, it is probable that a wooden church was built on the same site as the current cathedral in the 11th century, during the Christianization of Scandinavia. Coins from the 11th century have been found during excavations within the church, and a preserved Christian runestone from the same century (Rundata number Sm 10), today located next to the choir wall, may be further indication of the early presence of a wooden church on the site.

"Runestone" in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. Swedish Runestone written in memory of Mother, Father and brother Sweden about 1100 AD.
"Porsteinn had this landmark made in memory of Sveinn, his father, and in memory of Porir, his brother. They were abroad in Greece. And in memory of Ingibora, his mother."
This is runestone number Sö 285, Sö standing for Södermanland, a province in Sweden.
It is leaning against the wall of the medieval church of Botkyrka, a suburb of Stockholm. the translation of the text reads:
"Vegöt and...raised the stone after...their sons"
She stands at the Runestone Monoliths, armed and ready
Scythe in hand, but her arms are not heavy
Looks do deceive, so don’t be fooled
This wolf got teeth and they will bite you . . .
This is the church at Husby-Ärlinghundra, one of the many churches in the Swedish province of Uppland, where runestones have been used as building material. It was built around the middle of the 12th century.
It lies to the south of Uppsala not far from the Arlanda Airport.
In my home province, Scania (Skåne), there are about 60 rune stones. Most of them are carved between the years 980 and 1050, ie during the Viking Age.
The rune stones provide invaluable information about the language that was spoken and you also find out which names were popular then.
This special rune stone is among the most beautiful and the message reads:
”Fader had these runes carved after Asser, his brother, who died in the north during viking.”
( Meaning: He died during a conquest journey to the north.)
So, if you have a message for posterity, the best way is to carve it in stone.
Much better seen larger (in Original).

Second Life - Runestone
The inscription from 1000 A.D. says:
Sten, Fastulv, Härjulv erected this stone after Gelv, their father, and after Ulvvid, brother of Gelus. The cairn made wise sons for Holmlög.
As you enter the Hammersta nature reserve, before even noticing the runestone by the side of the road your eyes are drawn to three majestic oaks out on the field.
The Kristiansand area has been inhabited since prehistoric times. In 1996, the well-preserved skeleton of a woman dating to approximately 6500 BC was discovered in the neighbouring municipality of Søgne. This demonstrates very early habitation of the archipelago. Grauthelleren (Grathelleren), located on Fidjane, is believed to be a Stone Age settlement. The first discovery in Norway of a Sarup enclosure (a Neolithic form of ritual enclosure first identified at Sarup on the Danish island of Funen) was made in 2010 at Hamresanden and dates to c. 3400 BC. Archaeological excavations to the east of Oddernes Church have uncovered rural settlements that existed during the centuries immediately before and after the start of the common era. Together with a corresponding discovery in Rogaland, these settlements are unique in the Norwegian context; isolated farms, rather than villages, were the norm in ancient Norway. Other discoveries in grave mounds around the church, in the Lund section of the city, indicate habitation beginning c. 400 AD, and 25 cooking pits that were found immediately outside the church wall in 1907 are probably even older. One of the largest pre-Christian burial grounds in South Norway was formerly located to the south and west of the church. A royal centre is thought to have existed at Oddernes before 800, and the church was built around 1040.
Before the stone church was built, one or perhaps two wooden post churches are believed to have stood on the same spot. A few years ago, excavations were carried out under and around the runestone when it was moved to the church porch; the grave finds indicated that the churchyard must already have been unusually large in the High Middle Ages. This means that the area must have had a large population before it was reduced by the Black Death.
In the 14th and 15th centuries, there was already a busy port and a small village on the Otra at the lowest point of today's Lund neighbourhood (Lahelle). Another important element in the development of Kristiansand was the harbor on the island of Flekkerøy, which was the most important on the Skagerrak beginning in the 16th century and was first fortified under King Christian III in 1555. In 1635, King Christian IV ordered his feudal seigneur, Palle Rosenkrantz, to move from Nedenes and build a royal palace on the island. wikipedia
Skepptuna Church (Swedish: Skepptuna kyrka) is a medieval Lutheran church in the Archdiocese of Uppsala in Stockholm County, Sweden.
The altarpiece, made in the workshop of Jan Borman
There is evidence in the form of a runestone (rune inscription U 358) that there have been Christian people in the area since at least the early 11th century. The oldest part of the church however dates from the early 13th century. It was continuously expanded throughout the Middle Ages and received its present look during the 15th century. In 1776, the tower spire was found to have started to rot and was exchanged for the present one. Since then the church has remained largely unaltered. A renovation of the church was carried out in 1907, when a number of frescos were also rediscovered and restored.
AVALON
I wish to travel to Avalon
that island wreathed in legend.
I wish to travel to Avalon
this yearning a stone in my chest.
I wish to travel to Avalon
with Arthur himself as my guide.
I wish to travel to Avalon
to have my wounds healed liked that great King's.
I wish to travel to Avalon
that birthplace of Excalibur.
I wish to travel to Avalon
so my soul might similarly be forged.
I wish to travel to Avalon
and task that place with my eternal rest.

The Viking Age is the last period of the Scandinavian Iron Age, from the second half of the seventh century to about 1100 AD. The term is mainly used when describing the prehistory of the North, but also in British and Irish historiography. The period is counted in other parts of Europe either as part of the Iron Age or as part of the Early Middle Ages.
There are approximately 60 runestones from the Viking Age in Scania. The rune stones in Scania were erected around the same time as those in Denmark. At this time, Scania was part of Denmark.
Many of the Scanian runestones are from the end of the 9th century or the beginning of the 11th century.
The Tullstorp stone, is a rune stone that stands in the Tullstorp cemetery in the Tullstorp parish and Trelleborg municipality in Scania.
Runestones from the Viking Age are almost all memorial stones for dead relatives:
× klibiʀ × auk × osa × risþu × kuml + þusi × uftiʀ × ulf x
Which can be translated:
Klibir and Åsa carved this stone after Ulf
In addition to the runic text, the stone has an image of a large mythical beast and a warship equipped with sharp, protruding prows.
In the middle of the 19th century the stone was moved within the cemetery, it was probably on this occasion that it was broken into two parts.
Perfect for any setting this runestone altar contains lots of animations!

This is runestone number U 967.
It is standing with some other more recent appliances in the church-port of the church of Vaksaka, Uppsala, Sweden. The translation of the runes reads: "... after his father...".
It is believed that it was carved by the famous rune-master Öpir though some mean that the runes are too few to make an attribution.
This is runestone nr 49. It is standing
outside the church of Lovö, Ekerö, Sweden with some other stones.
Unfortunately it is in a rather bad condition. The text has some question-marks but reads in translation:
Sigrödr(?), Holmsteinn (and)
Ketilfastr laid(?) in memory of(?)
There is a comfort in rituals, and rituals provide a framework for stability when you are trying to find answers.

Sorry I lost the SURL. :(
Sorunda, Sweden.
The stone to the right is actually a runestone. A runestone is a stone with inscriptions on them, they were made over 1000 years ago during the Viking Age and can be found mostly in the Scandinavian countries.
During a stop on the way to the Danes.
Rök church, province of Östergötland.
Beside the church lies the Rök runestone. Quite famous. But, of course, I found the stone very boring. Too much information.
The Kensington Runestone was discovered in the roots of a tree on the Ohmer farm near Kensington, Minnesota in 1898. Vikings often carved runes into stone to leave a record of their travels. Translation of these runes date the stone to the 1300s. This indicates the presence of viking explorers here well before Columbus and other European explorers. Expert opinion on the authenticity of this stone has varied over the years.
The Rök runestone is one of Sweden's most famous runestones, and its inscription from the 8th century is considered, with its 760 characters, to be the world's longest runic inscription.
The Rök runestone (Ög 136) is located at Rök's church in Rök's parish, Ödeshög municipality and Lysing county in Östergötland.
The Rök runestone, which is sometimes said to be the starting point in the history of Swedish literature as the oldest surviving literary work, tells a peculiar story about several kings.
The Rök runestone was probably erected in the first half of the 8th century. The archaic language is an early form of Old Norse and thus differs from the runestones of the 11th century. It is also mentioned that Tjodrik (generally considered to be Theoderic the Great) died nine man ages ago, which places the runestone in the early 8th century.
The stone's name, which possibly also gave its name to the village of Rök, may come from the Old Norse word raukr, which became røk in Old Swedish.
It is thus the same as the Old Gutnish word rauk and roughly means "top object".

Winter at Charlotte's place, Hammar along Allévägen in Tungelsta. Her family have lived here for two centuries. They used to have a little museum in a building on the property. But it is empty today. There is also a runestone here, but it was moved to its current location by a relative of Charlotte a hundred years ago.
Has been a doorstep in front of the south door of the old church (the church ruin). It says: "Barne and Tue and Asgot let the stone rise after their brother Sibbe. Christ help the soul."

This damaged runestone with an inscription from the 11th century is placed in the cemetery of Alseda church. Its original place is unknown. At the end of the 17th century it was a foundation stone under the old steeple but was lost - and found again when people were digging in the cemetery in the 1890s.
The text is damaged, including two names - and the 'hurstin' has been interpreted as a misspelling of the name Thorsten though this isn't absolutely sure. Translated the text reads:
ku-m-r and his brothers placed this stone after ...r(t)in their father, the son of Thorsten [or Hurstin].
This is the tree lined avenue leading up to Hammar in Tungelsta. The estate is 200 years old. It was built by Frans G Upmark back in 1816. The family still lives there today. Wanna see the summer version? Here it is. Behind the house there's a fragment of a runestone. Kenny Lex has a photo.
